June: Winter Swell Ramps Up
June brings the first true taste of winter groundswell. The average swell height jumps to 6.9ft (2.1m) and the average period reaches a strong 14.3s. Swell direction is split between SSW (41.1%) and S (30.9%), with an increasing share of 2-2.5m (6.6-8.2ft) waves -- more than a third of the month sits in that powerful bracket. The wind remains easterly in character, with ESE at 58.7% and SE at 19.1%, although stronger 20-30kph pulses reduce the ideal wind percentage to 50%. Rain is negligible at 1.41 mm/day, air temperatures dip to 26.7°C, and water temperature falls to 28.0°C. This is serious surf: heavier, more powerful lines with real punch when the long-period SSW swell wraps into Balangan. It is a month for experienced surfers as the exposed reefs start to feel the full force of the Indian Ocean.
